Box Score 

CASTLETON, Vt. - Second-seeded Castleton State advanced to the semifinals of the ECAC Division III New England Men's Soccer Tournament with a 2-1 win over seventh-seeded Norwich University Wednesday evening at Spartan Stadium.

Castleton (11-7-3)  wasted little time breaking through for 1-0 lead, as Jon Vogt notched his fourth goal of the season to break the scoreless tie in the seventh minute of play. Greg Klopfer took the first of Castleton's six first-half corners and sent it into Vogt, who headed it past Norwich senior GK Charles Maxwell. Vogt had another chance at a goal in the 26th minute of play, striking a bending left-footer that appeared destined to make it 2-0, but Maxwell made a diving save to keep the one-goal deficit.

Norwich (10-8-2) evened the score at 1-1 in the 55th minute, on a bizarre play inside the Castleton box. Castleton goalie Mike Anthony came out to clear a 50-50 ball, and collided with a Norwich attacker.
The ball squirted free of Anthony's grasp and was corralled by freshman F Jake LeClaire. LeClaire sent a ball in towards the goal mouth, and was redirected past three Spartan defenders by senior M Bobby Begin for his team-best eighth goal of the season.

Castleton broke free for the final margin of victory 23 minutes later on a Sean Fitzgerald marker. Billy Lund placed a perfect through pass on the ground to Fitzgerald, who deposited it inside the far post for his team-leading 10th goal of the season.

The Spartans held an 18-9 advantage in shots, and a 7-1 edge in shots on goal. Castleton also attempted 10 corner kicks to the Cadets' two.

Maxwell stopped five shots in the loss.
